In today's video, we go through and discuss the story of umbra which takes place at Clavicus Vile's Daedric Shrine Quest in the elder scrolls 4 oblivion. We approach the shrine and pay 500 gold. Here, the Daedric prince tasks us with finding the sword and person named Umbra. We begin our search at Pell's Gate. Here, we speak with Irroke the Wide who tells us Umbra, aka, Lenwin, is held up in the Ayleid Ruin of Vindasel. We go down there and are faced with options. We can either fight her or make peace and leave. If we choose to leave, we return back to Clavicus and receive no reward, yet no penalty. If we choose to fight her, best her in combat and take the sword, we can return back to the shrine. With this outcome, we can either choose to return the sword where we're rewarded with The Masque of Clavicus Vile, or, we can keep the Sword and Umbra itself will be our reward. In the end, we also discuss some lore surrounding Umbra and Lenwin. Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe!

I’m loving the consistency in uploads from you. Just please don’t overexert yourself, you’re one of the better elder scrolls uploaders on KZfaq and we’d like to have you around for a while

I really appreciate the support and the concern my friend! :) I’m here to stay! I hope I never burnout either! I don’t think I will but you never now! But nevertheless it’s appreciated! :)

After all those years, I still remember that on the XBox 360, not handing in the Umbra sword to the Daedric shrine let to the console freezing. During my pipsquek days, I wasn't sure if this was the intented 'punishment' for disobedience. Nostalgia (for simpler times).

Also, (saying this before watching) Todd Howard voiced Clavicus btw apparently he was supposed to be a place holder and they kept him in 😂

I was pretty sure that was Todd Howard! I believe it was also him as Sanguine! Sounded familiar!

Todd voiced Clavicus Vile in Redguard too. This makes me laugh anytime some one calls Todd Howard a liar, or says they don't trust him. It just feels very funny to me that the guy who voiced Clavicus Vile multiple times (and at least one time, people thought it was too fitting to replace) is being touted as untrustworthy now. Like, maybe we were warned, and maybe these same people angry about things now would have made a terrible deal if they were wandering around Tamriel. Maybe we should have thought about this slightly, but alas...

Ah, Umbra. My favorite weapon in the game! I never turn it in. Once I pick it up, it stays with me indefinitely

Yeah I think that’s the best way to go about this quest honestly lol

YES I love when Umbriel from the Infernal City + Lord of Souls books are mentioned! Very under appreciated books. I own both :)

The umbra quests are always great. The sword just screams bad idea but always has such tempting stats, I get why Vile wants it lol. It's a shame the expanded lore doesn't show up in the games, a floating city would be a cool ass dungeon. Are you planning to do the Mehrunes Razor quest soon? It's one of my favorite mini dlcs, all sorts of fun little details

The idea of Umbra is really fascinating! And I would definitely like to sooner than later!!

I paused the quest and returned when it was broken and useless the weight stayed at zero. It works really good with Azura's star. I sold the mask thinking it would just piss him off more on purpose.

Love your channel Bard! If I recall correctly Umbra plays an important role in the books "The Infernal City" and "Lord of Souls". Might be worth a read. Definitely would fit your other channel as a bed time story.

"It is a 50 pound sword..." Meanwhile Goldbrand in your inventory with 52 pounds: "Am I a joke to you?"

There is actually a little conspiracy theory about Clavicus Vile that I quite like. In how the tale about the origins of the Umbra sword, being a lie. And that the truth is far, far darker. The theory goes that the witch that created Umbra, never actually existed, but that it was Clavicus Vile instead. Clavicus vile then approached an invididual named Umbra, who was a victim of a cruel lord murdering his or her parents. Clavicus offered Umbra the choice for revenge, at the cost of their soul. Umbra accepted, and then got transformed into the sword we know now. There it was picked up by Lenwin, whose personality slowly got corrupted and partially consumed by the blade in order to take her as a host for the new personality that is "Umbra". The reason why this theory exists is because it makes Clavicus Vile be the equivalent of Mephistopheles from Faust, where it offers faust a bargain; to receive their dreams come true, at the cost of their soul. Something very in line with the Daedric Prince of deals, Clavicus Vile.

The Umbra in Skyrim is from creation Club. I dont consider that canon. The Mod by RonnieMagnum is better in that you get a 1 handed and 2 handed version and the owner of the blade made a journal to try to keep his mind. There's callbacks in it to Morrowind and Oblivion where his dreams after picking up Umbra gave him the determination to set out to Skyrim. And the final entry is him remembering his name and stating that Your character is now Umbra.

Great video but I will say you shouldn't take Skyrims CC content too literally, it claims to be "lore friendly" which is hotly debated but nowhere is it stated any of it is canon at all

Cheers! :) I hear you, it can be controversial stuff, I like reading about it but maybe next time I’ll add a disclaimer!
